Zollhütte Am Obstensersee: Dramatic fire destroys historical buildings!
In the night of June 20, 2025, a devastating fire broke out in the Zollhütte near the Obstansersee hut. Around 11:50 p.m., the hut hosts heard a loud bang that was described as a "Tuscher". When they looked around, the Zollhütte was already in full fire. Despite hurry and alarm, a targeted fire service was not possible due to the high alpine location that night. As a result, the hut burned down completely until 1:00 a.m. without injuries among those present.
On the morning of June 21, a Kartitsch volunteer fire brigade was brought to the hut with a police helicopter to carry out the extinguishing work. For the owners, the agricultural community, the damage is not yet quantified. The total value of the incident remains unclear because the cause of the fire is currently being determined.
historical building in danger
The Zollhütte was not just a simple shelter; It represented a historic building that the Kartitsch region had culturally enriched. The fire was reported by residents on Monday morning and employed several fire departments of the fire brigade, which were on site to examine the damage and to stabilize the situation. Here, too, as in the extensive region, there was no question of an injured person.
The meaning of this hut should not be underestimated, as it attracted numerous hikers and nature -loving people over the years. But now the question arises what is happening with this legacy after it has been almost destroyed by the fire.
statistics and other missions
The operational statistics of the past few days show that the fire brigade in the Kartitsch region has been busy with over 120 missions in the past 31 days. Among other things, these are recurring inquiries about fire fighting. Last week, the service provider recorded an increase in the number of missions for both ambulances and at the emergency services. On this day, for example, the health and fire service at the weddings of the night in the hours after midnight (1:00 a.m. to 3:00 a.m.) tried to the security of the citizens.
Overall, it remains to be seen how the situation around the Zollhütte will develop. Education of the cause of the fire is the next important step on the investigators' agenda. We will continue to keep an eye on the situation and inform the public about progress.
